NOTICE
Spelling is not a full trust worthy source for the pronunciation of English words. Some vowels can be placed in the same order in a word, but that does not necessarily mean that they will be pronounced the same way. For instance:
read (present tense) vs. read (past tense) lead (present tense) vs. lead (metal)
